If we don’t know Baffour Awuah’s charge, there’s a fishing expedition going on – Kofi Bentil

Mr Bentil also questioned why the matter had escalated to the level of a criminal investigation and arrest, arguing that, based on his understanding, the dispute appeared to be a civil matter involving a lawyer and a client.

Mr Bentil said the issue was important because the exercise of state power to arrest an individual must be accompanied by a clear explanation of the reason for the arrest.“Because as far as I can see, this is a civil matter between a lawyer and a client, and I don’t know why it rises to the point,” he said.
